I mean, what could be better than watching Alexander Armstrong and marvelling at the quick-witted intelligence of Richard Osman? I think my dad may be watching back episodes of Pointless as I write - strangely, he’d never seen nor even heard of it before our conversation. I’ve listened to countless audiobooks over the last decade or so, and when my dear old dad - he’s across the pond on the plateau of a mountain somewhere in Colorado but, once a month, we share our favourite reads and TV programmes - told me that Richard Osman had written a murder mystery, I was on my Audible app quicker than diving into the freezer when someone tells me there’s ice cream in there. Recommended to anyone looking for a gently light hearted crime story. A bonus interview between author and narrator follows the story. Endearing, exciting and totally foolish, leaving a few dead bodies along the way, this is a fun, entangled mystery amusingly written by Richard Osman and beautifully read by Lesley Manville (once the playback speed is increased to 1.3).
